Eduard 36424 SU-85 Zvezda 1/35 – Photo-Etched Set for the Soviet Tank Destroyer Model

The Eduard 36424 set was created with the intention of precisely upgrading the plastic SU-85 model from Zvezda in 1/35 scale. This is a highly advanced photo-etched detail set that allows for a significant increase in the accuracy and detail of the famous Soviet tank destroyer SU-85.

Historical and Technical Information

The SU-85 was one of the most important armored vehicles of the Red Army during World War II. Produced from 1943, it was primarily used to combat German tanks on the Eastern Front—its powerful armament (an 85 mm gun) allowed it to effectively fight even the renowned Panthers and Tigers. It gained its greatest combat significance during Soviet offensive operations from 1943 to 1945, especially in the battles in Ukraine and Poland.
